After Rumsfeld left, there are really only two scapegoats left: Dick Cheney and George W. Bush. And if the democrats have any say, Bush isn't going anywhere.
Cheney was opposed to the sacking of his old mentor Rumsfeld and even more resistant to the naming of Bush family loyalist Robert Gates to take his place, it is clear that Cheney does'nt want to be placed in a position of exposure.
However, even Cheney allies like Richard Perle and Ken Adelman, perhaps sensing that Cheney may be the designated scapegoat, have bellowed about the Iraq war being a mistake and are now distancing themselves from the Cheney group, once the most powerful operating cell within the Bush administration.
Some belive that the president will dump Vice President Dick Cheney and replace him with either John McCain or Rudolph Giuliani prior to the 2008 presidential election.
Is Cheney Next on the Chopping Block?
